Intense Love Confessions

"I simply can't bear another minute without you in my life."

"My love for you consumes me."

"I don't even know how to handle the feelings I have for you."

"Nothing will ever keep us apart anymore."

"This heart belongs to you. You can break it or heal it."

"I love you more than words can ever express."

"You are my forever. My future. My one and only."

"Even if the world was ending, I would be happy to be by your side."

"Without you, I am nothing. I love you more than you could ever understand."

"I didn't believe in soulmates before I met you."

"You are the one. My love of my life."

"I wouldn't want to experience one more day without you."

"Without you, I am incomplete. You are my missing part."

"And I love you more each day and it hurts so much not being able to tell you."

"You made me believe in love."

Planing for my characters in my AU to spend a considerable amount of time in Greece which means I’m going to have to spend a considerable amount of time researching Greece, which I don’t have a problem with.

But something I also want to explore is Greek families, dynasties, just stuff like that. I also think it would be interesting to explore heroes or lack there of in Greece. How demigods are basically normal people and aren’t trying to be put on a leash. Idk I’m really excited to write it when I finish everything else.

While rewatching Come and Learn with Pibby for the fifth time this week

I had this random idea..

What if..

And hear me out..

Web cartoons(somehow) got mixed in?

Think about it!

A corrupted Fliqpy chasing after Pibby and co or a corrupted Lumpy making things harder for them

A half corrupted Ena fighting the corrupted part of herself

Edd, Matt, and Tom struggling to keep their friendship together while also fighting for their lives

Hank T battling a corrupted Tricky and Jesus

A corrupted Skitzo the bear manipulating the cartoon world around him to capture the gang! He's already terrifying as is, a corrupted version would be ten times more scary!

The Tankmen becoming more serious and fighting the corruption with Steven becoming the captain after Captain pushes him out the way to save him from being corrupted

Skid and Pump traveling beside Pibby and co after they find them wondering the streets, unaware of the corruption

A corrupted Catbug. Imagine. Just. Imagine how screwed everyone would be if he were to end up corrupted or how he could help the gang out of the most toughest jams

That's all I could think of as of now, but it's an interesting idea I had

So excited for Pibby to become a show

It still surprises me how nobody thought of making a Zombie Apocalypse universe with Bugsnax

I can see a very interesting story where the residents of snaxburg has to fight for their lives with the snaxs trying to take over them

It's a pretty cool idea

I might write about it and post some art about it..I'm not sure yet

Raidyn sat on the thick tree branch crisscrossed, moonlight struck his face with little to no more light than needed. It's cold, winds of icicles beating his skin, his bare hands tightened, the wings of his feather fell down with neshness.

The gang was sleeping quite... soundly below, the fire gradually growing smaller. With this, there was barely any light to see anything, not even the moon could bring them enough light. But this wind was a blessing, oh, it really was. In the morning the sun peaking through the forest glades were enough to make everything heat up, weary legs, aching arms, heaving breaths, furrowed eyes, and sweat sticking out freshly from their foreheads.

"Hoy," A voice called him and a flurry of wings rustled from behind the tree branch.

The man cracked his knuckles. "Hoy yourself." He whispered with a smile that Jayce couldn't see. "How did you make it out of the dark?"

Jayce scoffed, scratching the back of his wings, and settling himself comfortably down the thick tree branch. He was quite sure that they'll fall any second. "With my eyes, of course."

Raidyn's brows crept up his forehead. "I thought you were partially blind."

"Partially," The boy's mouth twitched upward, he breathed in the cool air. "Your sibling was crying herself to sleep again."

"Who?"

Silence.

"Well, Ryna, who else?" Jayce clicked his tongue with annoyance. He said it like that without hesitation.

"Uhm," The man started, his hand on his chin, demanding and thinking hard, his mind elsewhere. "Zer and Deborah and Kaori and—"

"I mean your biological sibling." He interrupted, as though exhausted with him, but Jayce could never be exhausted with people like them, no, especially them.

Raidyn sighed. "I... I have to go some time, y'know?" He apologetically said, he didn't really think about saying it like this, tonight. This night where everything is meant to be savored, taken in with a rest.

"But she loves you," Jayce protested, the faintest smile of his lips disappeared. "I mean," He cleared his throat. "I do too, we all love each other, or at least that's what I think, even though I..." His voice faded, and Raidyn could see him shrug from the dark.

A long, thick silence that finished Jayce's speech brought courage to his lungs again. "I'll remember you," He said. "No homo."

Raidyn snickered quietly, his chest heaving up and down, before he spoke. “I’ll remember. And you’ll remember, because you’ll be alive to do so.” Then his head lowered at the now sleeping Ryna. "All of you will."

Here's a quick little drabble of my OCs'. Not my best writing because I'm still a wreck at the moment, anyway, thank you to @sleepyprompts for sparking an idea in my brain. It's been a while since my fingers stretched this much, so thank you <33

btw, don't be afraid to give constructive criticism, it helps a ton!!

Prompt #701

“I’ll remember. And you’ll remember, because you’ll be alive to do so.”

"who's this?" "it's the fucking king of England, that's who it is. Now open up, I'm drenched and I'm cold" answered a voice from the outside. "really funny sir. And original, I haven't heard this one since… Oh I'm sorry your highness"

My advice when folks are struggling with writing in the third-person omniscient is to Lemony Snicket it up. Give your omniscient narrator strong opinions about what’s going on. Don’t fall into the trap of assuming that the third-person omniscient perspective must also use the objective voice; those are two separate things, and many of the most popular and successful writers who’ve written in the third-person omniscient do not, in fact, use the objective voice.

a trope that i think is really fun is in a fantasy world where there is magic, those who don't believe in the magic can trump it. especially when it's not like a group of people, when it's just like a couple characters that you meet throughout.

idea. one of those king-prophecied-to-be-killed-by-child myths except the king (or any other such person) doesn't try to kill/abandon the child and just raises them like normal and etc but there's the looming knowledge of the ruler's death and they tell the child about the prophecy and all that jazz.

Considering Meiste is being written from a 1st person limited point of view (that POV being Izi’s exclusively) I think it would make more sense if it felt like he were naming the chapters, himself.

I.e. Chapter 1: That was Where it All Started

(Henceforth, I’ll use X to denote a digit of unknown value)

Chapter XX: Ruining my Own Coronation

Chapter XX: Odapir City is a Crazy Place

Chapter XX: The Big Lie, Revealed

Chapter XX: Look Who Came Crawling Back for More

Let’s go back to naming our chapters!

Here are some examples of chapters names I’ve come up with!

- Break you out of your shell

- A plot to make the girl happy again

- Yesterday is a memory we can't all forget

- Regret is something we get over by doing

Lets hear some more unique chapter names!

Foreshadowing is so fun! Even though I'm still on draft one of my novel, I may list which of these elements I've incorporated so far below.

Lozerief knows stuff she shouldn't. How did she know Izi's dad? If she knew his dad, did she know his mom? (Spoilers, yes, she did, duh.)

Colors. Everywhere. Lozerief wears black, foreshadowing her role as Hero of Earth. Izi wears white, foreshadowing his role as Hero of Cognition and her antithesis. Hota wears teal for their role as Hero of Mind.

I (mostly) know how this will end.

Not a Checkhov's gun but I repeatedly bring up Izi's old home for more reasons than just trauma.

I keep track of what I put in languages that I create so that only I (and the characters who speak those languages) know what they're saying. (I foreshadow the rise of the White Army this way.)

Names with meanings is a big one for Lozerief...

I realize only now that Lozerief is the character who hides the most, and it's amazing she doesn't spoil it all right away. Maybe she's bound by some old agreement...?

subtle ways to include foreshadowing

one character knowing something offhandedly that they shouldn't, isn't addressed until later

the crow rhyme

colours!! esp if like, blue is evil in your world and the mc's best friend is always noted to wear blue...betrayal?

write with the ending in mind

use patterns from tragic past events to warn of the future

keep the characters distracted! run it in the background until the grand reveal

WEATHER.

do some research into Chekhov's gun

mention something that the mc dismisses over and over

KEEP TRACK OF WHAT YOU PUT. don't leave things hanging.

unreliable characters giving information that turn out to be true

flowers and names with meanings

anything with meanings actually

metaphors. if one character describes another as "a real demon" and the other turns out to be the bad guy, you're kind of like...ohhh yeahhh

anyways add anything else in the tags

There should be a fanfiction with Eleven and Steve as seven. In this fanfiction should be a joke about the store „Seven Eleven“.

This was a peak mental moment

Echoes of the void tell me, where did my sanity go?

I feel small because of existence

What if we live inside a movie? What would the ones watching it think?

They could be like: what an original well planned alternative universe where our pets have conquered the earth.

Or like: This is so not realistic,but it is very funny. Like why are the humans so obsessed with living? Don't they know what happens after death?

I just realized there are so many writing ideas in this.

Here a gif of a very confused spock, because why not?
